Designed to provide excellent control for precision tasks as well as all-around chopping and slicing.

Durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and has a D shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.

Available in right- and left-handed versions.

6"-long blade, 4 1/4"-long handle; 2.8 oz.

Handcrafted in Japan.

Use & Care

Use

Always use caution when handling sharp objects.

Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.

It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.

Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.

Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.

Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.

Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
